First time I've had an "off" for 16 years. Only my second accident with a motorbike in some 17 years of riding, the other one was a couple of weeks after passing my test and was pure inexperience!
I've been riding since I was 9 and on the road since I was 21. Not a bad track record.

Did you get any number-plates and was Plod interested long enough to put down his cup of tea and respond?

Im assuming that its a sports bike you have got your self there.  Hope it all goes back together ok. (if you need some one to have a look at your fearing I know some one who is fantastic at getting them sorted and is very reasonable price wise.)

Iv been riding for 13 years only ever had two offs once a week before my test (locked up front wheel at lights searching for some where and the guy in the car in front stopped at green) I super maned off my Honda CG125 (First Bike) and looked silly but was ok. The second time was when I left my Brake lock in tryed to rush to catch some friends up landed in a big heap fortunately by BMW K100RS (Second bike big jump I know) did not land on me!

(edit due to me being a plonker and not seeing page 2 )

No I am sorry but he never EVER said that that is one of the biggest misquotes that come up all the time whae he actually said was!

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "

Another memorable quote that might apply -
Quote:
Harry Callahan: Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!

Sudden Impact (1983)

Harry was such a class act..... Wink
 
"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Clint has ALWAYS been one of my favourite actors, whether being Harry, the man with no name or even accompanied by Clyde the most famous orangutang! I wonder, are there any City Heat fans out there? The pairing of Burt Reynolds with Clint and chucking the legendary Madeline Kahn into the mix was pure comic genius Cool Cool Cool
I always liked the way everyone said the Western was dead, then Clint releases "Unforgiven" and blew the world into the tumble-weeds Cool

I love the way your topic segways from bikes to brawn. They do go hand in hand. Your safety record is pretty impressive. I'm getting a little long in the tooth to be riding 'crotch rockets' anymore, (Honda Hurricane was my fav. in the early 80's). It's all about comfort now...yawn!
Started when I was 14, back in the 70's, with a little Hodaka 125. Graduated through the dirt bikes to the crotch rockets and finally to the cruisers.
In all that time I was never injured (some minor spills) and only pulled over twice for flying low without a pilots license. Grin
Glad your O.K. and remember revenge is a dish best served cold!  Cool

Amazingly all that kevlar in the gloves seems to have spared me. I'm rather bruised down my right side and aching and the hand is a bit swollen but otherwise I'm remarkably unscathed.
Alas Saturday will now be dedicated to the repair of the bike as the end can is rather fruity due to the damage and one indicator is knackered. I can also probably fix the fairing rather than buy a new one.
I'm just glad I'm not eating hospital food!

I never really expected to read a report like this one, about you Mark ?  W T F !
Come on out here and we'll ride the island AND keep both wheels underneath us as we enjoy a little twist of the throttle in the mountains.......
Sorry to hear, but glad that is isn't imobilizing for you ....

Not bad at all - but two more than me,...then again, I only started riding back in the late 60's ......not sure if that covers your 17 yrs.....not rubbin in anything Mark, I respect your record and know that mine is just around the next corner ....It sometimes scares me off the bike before I get on for a ride......10 mins later though, I'm out the door and lookin for trouble..........

Better your hand than your neck...!  Shocked

My only advice to you Sean, is accept everything as your responsibility and you'll do fine - but - if you can't have that outlook, don't ride, someone out there may take you out. You are the only one who can affect your destiny on the bike to keep you safe........

I'd say if you're an emotional person, or get hecked up by numb-nuts on the roads then DON'T ride! You have to lock down your emotions or you'll get angry and do something that'll get you killed.
I'm still happily riding but I've got to finish the fairing repairs Embarrassed
